I couldn't wait until we finished the basement to get my slot cars going again. Instead of setting up the 1/32 track, I got this pretty rad AFX scale set, the "International Super Challenge" with 16 four-lane layouts modeled after tracks around the world.

For comparison, I pulled out one of the 1/32 scale cars. HO cars are small. There isn't as much detail, and the crashes aren't quite as spectacular as with the big cars.

But 4-lanes flat out rules. And some of these small cars are ridiculously fast. And even at HO scale, a Dodge Charger sliding its tail out around a long turn looks pretty cool.
